Re: [Finale] Notion music notation software for iPad

Apparently Notion for iPad cannot edit lyrics. Here's a comparison between Notion and Symphony Pro: http://techinmusiced.wordpress.com/2011/12/17/a-preliminary-comparison-of-notion-and-symphony-pro/ From that article: Notion 1.0 doesn’t allow for lyrics–but it CAN import lyrics. If you write a

Re: [Finale] measure width for whole rest (empty) bars

2011-12-30 Thread Florence + Michael
Ryan, This is a limitation of Finale. Whatever value you give for minimum measure width, Finale gives as much space for the default whole measure rest as it would for a whole note. However, you can remedy this with Jari's plug-in: JW Space Empty Rests (hey, why didn't he tell you that?).

2012-02-11 Thread Florence + Michael
Wide fermatas are old notation: Mozart used them, for instance. In his operas you can find instances of wide fermatas over two or more notes. In most cases it's the singer who has several notes while the orchestra holds one note, but there are cases where the fermata extends over more than one

In the parts it's the same as in the score (at least in the Bärenreiter edition): the violins (who play a dotted half + quarter) have a long fermata extending over the whole measure, the other instruments (who play a quarter on beat one followed by rests) have a long fermata extending over the

Re: [Finale] How do I insert 2 beats (part of a measure)?

Do you mean that all the music after the place where the two beats are missing is shifted two beats to the left? If that's the case, you can do this: - select all the measures from the one where the two beats are missing to the end of the piece. - drag and drop this selection two beats to the

Yes: only use rests when absolutely necessary for clarity, or when the music is in strict counterpoint. Here's what Elaine Gould writes in her comprehensive guide to music notation, Behind Bars, in the section on part writing for keyboard instruments: Keyboard writing can move from a single

As far as the simplify key command in Finale is concerned, 6 sharps is as simple as 6 flats. Combining this command with the correct transposition for producing Gb major in E major sections (a diminished third instead of a major second) should provide you with what you need. If you set the Bb

If you want one time signature for each section, the best way is to create a certain number of systems that only show time signatures. For these systems, you hide everything (staff lines, bar lines, etc.) apart from the time signatures. You set the systems which actually have music in them to
